What kind of lottery winner would you be? A very happy one. I’d love to be able to travel and take a few chances with different jobs.

Which 6 famous people would you invite to a fantasy dinner party? Assuming as it’s fantasy the dead can rise again I’d want Jane Austen, Douglas Adams and Spike Milligan. Stephen Fry and Sue Perkins always look so much fun and I’d like Hugh Jackman simply to gaze at.

Where do you find inspiration for your blogging? I only post when things occur to me. I’m writing about my writing mainly so it depends when anything interesting happens I think people would want to read about.

What is your favourite season and why? Summer because I love the long, warm evenings sitting in the garden with a glass of wine.

What is your favourite word? I’ve got 8 and 7 year olds, so ‘bedtime’!

Do you have a hobby, and if so, what is it? Skiing is my main love, but I can only do that once a year. Up until recently I’d have said writing but I’m getting paid to do that now so I don’t think it counts. I’ve had a number of them that I never stick to for long. Bellydancing, fencing, zumba, painting, the list goes on.

If you were an animal, what would you be? A lemur. I’d love a tail to wrap around myself.

What piece of advice would you give to your younger self? Don’t worry about not fitting in with the crowd. Why bother trying to impress people you don’t want to spend time with anyway?

Who was your favourite popstar when you were a teenager? I had a bit of a thing for Jon Bon Jovi.

What is your favourite part of the day? The evening, when I can sit down with a cat on my lap (and occasionally on my laptop) and write.

What is the most important thing you’ve ever said? “Please can I borrow your laptop”. See https://elisabethhobbes.co.uk/2014/02/26/the-day-i-came-out/ for why.
